The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- As conjecture grounded in historical fact, alternate history stories explore "what if?" scenarios about pivotal events in human history and depict outcomes diverge significantly from the historical record.
- These works typically feature a point of divergence from recorded history, a change that alters the subsequent course of events, and the resulting ramifications.
- Some alternate histories are considered a subgenre of science fiction or historical fiction.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Alternate history article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 45: each hit it takes is cut by 18 %.
